German Chancellor gets doused with beer

As Merkel sat down for dinner, a waiter behind her lost his balance and spilled five beers on the back of the chancellor, but according to the Huffington Post, Merkel wasn’t too upset by the beer shower.

“She turned around and grinned at me,” said Martin D, who accidentally spilled the beers.

The waiter told a German newspaper that another waiter was supposed to serve Merkel, but she was too nervous to do it. The 21-year-old stepped up, but he said it didn’t go according to his plan.

“I was shoved from behind,” he said. “I tried to catch the beers, but it was too late.”
